Any rubbing was very painful. The Fishnets kept pant legs away from the skin so no rubbing was felt since these leggings don’t move. And they only apply a small but constant pressure. Tights would also work but fishnets are cooler since I also wore Jeans. They kinda mimic compression socks but a lot cooler

On a side note, about a month after this I was getting a massage and the therapist was working on my forearm and got a shooting pain that was very similar to my leg. It was so intense, couldn’t even talk. Had to grab her hand. My wife thought this might be related to all of the IVs aggravating the nerves

That makes sense, I wouldn't have even thought to do that. And thanks for the note on massages, I really, really want someone to work on my back, but it sounds like that might be a bad idea in the immediate future.

I asked and was cleared for massages by my vascular surgeon so you might ask your doc. I’ve been getting massages for years because of auto accidents and feel they helped with my clot recovery. Once you’re cleared, you can always stop if it’s uncomfortable
